Decisions, Decisions.

We’ve made a couple of big decisions lately.
I’ve broken them down into two categories.

GOOD
-          Spencer decided on a Law School- Cornell University
-          We chose our apartment on Craigslist, it turned out to be pretty good
-          We bought a brand new car with 7 miles on it. (Still kind of freaking out)
-          Drew got a new car seat which he loves about 100x more than his other one.

BAD
-          I ate an entire bag of Fritos one day in the car.
-          Later that same night we ate hotdogs labeled 2 for 99cents from a gas station.
-          We used a U-Box to ship our stuff. Its official we hate U-haul.

We’re in our new apartment, without internet- (Currently posting from a wi-fi café)

Hopefully we’ll be able to fill everyone in later on some other recent events.
i.e. understanding the shirts “Ithaca is Gorges”, fruit picking, the farmers market, Wegmans etc.
 
We are exploring Ithaca and enjoying the gorgeous scenery. Cornell has a beautiful campus, and a great Law school. We are excited for this new adventure and the next three years of our lives here.

We drove through Ithaca in late July on the way from Jay's place to Palmyra. It is nice small city -very much a student town. You will be close to church history sites and some great scenery. You can also get to New York in a few hours and visit Jay.

Cornell Law! WoooHoo, impressive! That great decision trumps Fritos and hotdogs any day! Congrats you guys can't wait to hear details!

Heather said...

EVER HEARD OF IT??

I am way excited for you guys! And Sara, I'm thinking you can afford to eat a whole bag of Frito's these days.

Also, one of my favorite people lives in Ithaca. Her name is Kate Patterson, her husband is at Cornell too, and you guys should find each other and be friends. Maybe you already did, I don't know your life. Or how many wards there are there. The point is, find her. She is so great.

I live in Ithaca too! We should be friends... wait. We already are. And did I tell you that I met Chelsea and Burke once? Small world... I'll have to tell you about it. Or you could just come over and I'll tell you about it.

Welcome to the East! Too bad you are the Northern kind and we are the Southern kind. But we'll still see each other :).
